We decorated a pumpkin with the 'push in parts' that Nan and Papa gave to Aaron. We had a of fun with the decorating and even more fun looking at the pumpkin that we created on our front door step every day! We made a pig on one side and a cat on the other.
We had a really fun time hosting our first Halloween party for all of our neighborhood friends! There were 6 children ages 2 and under (Connor is the oldest, Aaron is the youngest, and all of our other friends fall in between) and 7 parents to try to keep things under control! We dressed up (some of the kids did- some for almost all of the party, some for just a few minutes), ate snacks, decorated little pumpkins (with the 'push in parts'), decorated pumpkin shaped brownies with frosting and candy, and played! It went very well and everyone had a great time. Can't wait to do it again next year! (I wanted to post a picture of all of the kids, but figured that I probably better ask their parents first, so I'm just sharing the ones of Connor and Aaron! There weren't a ton of great pictures because the kids were in constant motion from all of the sugar that they had eaten!)
For Halloween we went to Fort Dodge to visit the family and had a great time. Aaron had a couple of hand me down costumes from Brett and Claire. He started out as a pug dog (which he also wore for our little Halloween party at our house) but it was VERY tight on him! So much so that the zipper wouldn't stay up and it fit him like it was his second skin! It was such a cute costume though! We decided to change him into the bigger lion costume, which seemed to be much more comfortable! Aaron went out trick or treating with Brett and Claire to 3 houses around Nan and Papa's- it was chilly and we really weren't dying for them to get lots of candy! Emma, Jacob, and Olivia (and Tony and Angie, ofcourse) came to join us after they were done trick or treating and we had a party at Nan and Papa's! We decorated pumpkins and cupcakes, ate dinner, and all had fun celebrating!
